Atharva Veda 19.32.8: Kanda 19, Anuvaka 4, Sukta 32, Mantra 8
Sukta 32
प्रि॒यं मा॑ दर्भ कृणु ब्रह्मराज॒न्याऽभ्यां शू॒द्राय॒ चार्या॑य च । यस्मै॑ च का॒मया॑महे॒ सर्व॑स्मै च वि॒पश्य॑ते
priyáṃ mā darbha kṛṇu brahma-rājanyā́bhyāṃ śūdrā́ya cā́ryāya ca | yásmai ca kā́mayāmahe sárvasmai ca vipáśyate
Make me dear, O darbha, to Brahman and to Rajanya, to Śūdra and to Ārya; and to whomsoever we would fain win, and to every onlooker that beholds.
हे दर्भ, मुझे सबसे प्यारा बना दे। ब्राह्मण हो या राजा-वर्ग के लोग, शूद्र हो या आर्य, सबको मैं पसंद आऊँ। जिसको भी हम जीतना चाहें, वो मुझपे दिल दे दे। जो भी मुझे देख रहा हो, उसकी नज़र में मैं अच्छा लगूँ।
